Transportation Improvement Program

2019 TIP
MTC released the Draft 2019 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) and Draft Transportation-Air Quality Conformity Analysis for the Amended Plan Bay Area 2040 and the Draft 2019 TIP for public review and comment on June 18, 2018. The review period closed on July 19, 2018. At its September 12, 2018, Programming and Allocations Committee meeting, MTC is scheduled to consider public comments received by the end of the review period. MTC is expected to approve the final transportation-air quality conformity analysis and the 2019 TIP on Wednesday, September 26, 2018, during its regularly scheduled Commission meeting. For more information, please see the Draft 2019 TIP web page.

2017 TIP
MTC approved the 2017 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) and Transportation-Air Quality Conformity Analysis for Plan Bay Area and the 2017 TIP on September 28, 2016. The 2017 TIP is included in Caltrans’ 2017 Federal-Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (FSTIP) by reference. The 2017 FSTIP was approved by the State on November 16, 2016. FHWA and FTA approved the 2017 FSTIP on December 16, 2016.

The Transportation Improvement Program, or TIP, is a comprehensive four-year regional spending plan — and required by federal law.

But this just begins to tell the tale of the TIP. Here are nine more facts:

MTC must adopt a new TIP at least once every four years; and the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) requires our region to update its TIP every two years.
